LBS verdict.
1-Worn chain. It was measured. V disappointed with this as it was a genuine Shimano one, just gone through my training log since I got the bike and had done 1897 miles, all dry miles and cleaned and dry lubed regularly.
2-Chain too short by 2 links, causing too much tension in the drivechain and unpredictable movement under the excessive tension. A thing some manufacturers do, apparently. LBS a Giant dealer and Giant do this.
3-Incorrect front mech adjustment. Not helping the whole situation.
Firmware checked and all fine, no update necessary.
Road tested and all good. Bring on summer.
